YOU CAN'T DO THIS ON TWITTER
2012-02-03 19:03:00 Twitter is in the spotlight because of its new and controversial per-country blocking system--the power for governments to censor and withhold public tweets that violate local laws. Although the specifics are a bit murky, according to Foreign Policy magazine, here are 5 things that you can't/shouldn't do on Twitter in the United States, for they can lead to some serious legal trouble: Cyberbullying, pranking police, coordinating unlawful behavior, threatening violence and not removing tweets by request. Check out the full implications of each here and stay out of Twitter trouble!

High Court Seeks Delhi Police Reply On Plea By Facebook & Google: Needl
2012-01-12 07:07:00 Last month saw much drama over the fact that Kapil Sibal, our venerable Minister for Human Resources and Development, effectively wanted to censor the Internet and Social Media due to the risk of people viewing âobjectionableâ content. He recanted later saying that he did not want to do all that but wanted companies like Facebook and Google to regulate the process whereby objectionable content be removed via pre-screening. After facing many threats, abuses and critical comments Sibal has seemingly backed out for now. But some people are still giving into this flawed logic and submitting criminal complaints in a court.The Delhi High Court has sought a reply from the Delhi Police regarding the petitions filed by Facebook India, Google India and many other social networks challenging the criminal trial court order which makes them liable for âobjectionableâ content that is available on their sites. On December 23, the trial court had called upon 21 representatives from promine...

New Menu Excites Food Police, Not Students
2011-12-30 18:51:00 You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t force him to drink. That old adage is proving true when it comes to improving school lunches. The Los Angeles Times recently examined the- failure of the Los Angeles Unified School Districtâs introduction of healthy lunches. We’ve seen before the consequences of taking away chocolate and strawberry milk in schools, but now L.A. schools have taken menu changes in the name of health even further. The new menu includes vegetarian creations such as curries, quinoa salads, and Pad Thai noodles, which predictably drew praise from the misnamed Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). But are students really better off with fewer choices? The kids left hungry donâ-t think so. The problem, as explained by many students, is that the district-approved food is ânasty.â When faced with the new menu, it isnât hard to see why two high school juniors conceded to eating more junk food now than last year...

India Proposes A New UN Body To Police The Internet
2011-11-03 08:42:00 India seems to be spearheading the IBSA (India Brazil & South Africa) with a formal proposal submitted for a new UN-based body comprising of 50 members for Internet governance. In a twist of irony, India put it before an existing body, the Internet Governance Forum! India wants a separate entity (under the purview of UN of course) that, âcombines the functions of the Internet Governance Forum and some of the revenues of ICANN in a structure that puts governments on topâ. It is called the UN Committee for Internet Related Policies (CIRP). The statement submitted by India read âThe intent behind proposing a multilateral and multi-stakeholder mechanism, It is not to âcontrol the Internetâ or allow Governments to have the last word in regulating the Internet, but to make sure that the Internet is governed not unilaterally, but in an open, democratic, inclusive and participatory manner, with the participation of all stakeholders, so as to evolve universally acceptable, and...

Police brutality and political violence in Sierra Leone
2011-09-28 22:11:00 By J L Samboma Sierra Leone’s Minister of Internal Affairs, Musa Tarawallie (left), has effectively voided a nationwide ban on rallies and other party political activities announced by the Inspector General of Police last week. While many see this as a slap in the face for Francis Munu, the whole incident stinks to high heaven of political corruption and, once again, raises serious doubts about the judgement of the country’s top cop and the probity of the force he heads. The Inspector General – handpicked by President Ernest Bai Koroma and seen as being very close to him – shocked many when, in the run-up to next year’s general elections, he issued a press release proscribing overt political activity. He declared “a blanket ban on all political rallies, processions and public meetings until further notice,” adding that, during this “cooling off period,” all political meetings should be confined to respective party offices.

Obi - The POlice German Shepherd Injured in UK Riot
2011-08-16 08:45:00 The three-year-old German shepherd Dog Obi was on his duty with his handler Constable Phil Wells on the front line in Tottenham. Obi and his handler experienced a real life threatening phase amidst the mob where people were throwing bricks and bottles aimlessly. One of such items struck Obi in his head, badly cracking his skull right above the left eye. PC Wells said, "I have never experienced stuff coming at us from all sides like that before." PC Phil Wells said, "Obi is trained in public order, and that may be dispersing a crowd or pushing them back. We were on a stationary point when we came under heavy bombardment. There were lots of missiles coming at us, bottles, bricks, petrol bombs, street furniture, too many to count and one hit Obi on the top of the head. Initially he was a bit shocked but I gave him a checkover and tried to avoid any further injuries and after the initial shock he seemed fine so we carried on for another couple of hours. Afterwards he was assessed and an...

Sathya Sai Trust?s R.J.Ratnakar ? Long Police Interrogation. Intensive Inve
2011-06-26 01:18:00 Latest reports in the Indian media reveal that the Anantapur district police have questioned a leading Sathya Sai Central Trust member, Sathya Sai Baba's nephew R.J. Ratnakar for over five hours. He has refused media interviews. Police have scheduled for Monday 27 June an interview with another prominent Sathya Sai Central Trust member, V. Srinivasan.

Ratnakar, who says that the money is actually from 12 donors, and can be explained. Information is abroad that R.J. Ratnakar has been attempting to involve a number of Sai Baba students in attempts to cover up certain of the financial irregularities, but that the boys and their families have refused to have anything to do with any improper dealings.
